After waking up from the single dorm, I immediately bathed and brushed my teeth. Hygiene is the most important. After all, I don't want to catch any germs.
When I arrive at the white magic classroom, I find professor pom standing at the chalkboard.
"Good morning, star shines !"Professor Pom said with excitement
"You will need to sit down before we can start, but take your time. Relax. Get comfortable, That's very important when working with this particular style of magic"Professor pom
The students went towards their seats
Taking her at her word, I yam and stretch before I settle into my seat.
"To some people, white is the absence of color on a blank canvas. In the non-magical world, white is a complete spectrum, all colors combined into one "Professor pom said continuing her lecture
Ah! the old lady is going with her rant again. Please someone spare me your doubts. Even idiotic doubts are appreciated here. Unfortunately, the rant continued
"In some ways, you could think of white magic as either of these things. White Magic is a tool you use to access the spirit realm "Professor pom said
"Ghosts.Dreams.Creatures from other planes. The thoughts of those around you. With white magic, you can experience and communicate with things that are normally hidden "Professor pom said
Ghost friends?
"There is one thing I need to warn you about. Some people have tried to use the white magic to control minds and spirits, instead of asking for their help " Professor pom said with sadness in her eyes
"DO NOT DO IT, YOU WILL REGRET IT?" she said warning us
"Now shall we go on with the lesson? "She said changing her expression very quickly
What sort of warning is that? Does that mean that it won't work, or that we will be expelled or arrested, or our brains will melt, or what? Maybe she will tell us later which will be for eternity.
...
If it's anything it is making me want to use it more.
I went my way toward the blue magic classes, coincidentally I met with Eric in the classroom. There is also this popular Layla jones.
Eric pov
Uh-oh, it's one of her classes. She added ten demerits to me for bumping, thankfully she didn't notice.

I feel familiar with the professor when I looked at her
Soon a Grumpy looking woman in her 25s came forcefully swinging the doors. Oops I guess she is in the heat today. Maybe she got that time of the month in the middle of the classroom as my mother once told me women do that which I don't understand what I meant. I hope she doesn't become as annoying as that old granny.

The young teacher looked at the class with a scowl and looked at the students with a ruthless and cold look scaring the students while saying with a Montone
"Mill about all you like; it's your own time you are wasting. I have no objections to failing a lot of you in the next exam "Professor Gabriel said with an evil smirk
A flurry of robes as students scramble for seats
"SILENCE" the professor screamed which silenced the whole class
Akira pov
Cool ! the professor is cool
"Here you will be learning the subtle art of Blue magic-at least some of you will. I thoroughly expect this subject to go over some of your heads ."Professor Gabriel said with a scowl
"Blue is the color of change . That is, altering what is already there. Not creating, not destroying "Professor Gabriel said with an evil smirk
Changing the things you don't like, count me in
"If that's the case why don't we change our default to being beautiful or attractive, "I asked her.
"Good question, but why do you use it in a narrow-minded fashion? Using Blue magic means that you have to imagine the things you want which many of our present generations fail to fulfill. "Professor Gabriel said with amusement
"A simple mistake and you are left with ugly faces with the rest of your life which will be the same as your head, "Professor Gabriel said with an evil smirk
"Now coming to the point. Blue magic is commonly used in conjecture with other magical styles in order to perform alchemical transmutations and alteration of the essence ."Professor Gabriel said as went back to her monotone voice
"Blue magic can also be used to change the effects of an existing spell, to cast or dispel illusions or to change locations without movement through intervening spaces, "Professor Gabriel said with a Stern tone
"For a skilled Blue Magician reality is fluid. All things can be changed. Yet few minds are capable of grasping the possibilities "Professor Gabriel said with a mocking smile
It's seriously op. Blue magic is now my official favorite magic
"We will see what you are worth, "She said further pressuring the students more
Soon her eyes landed on Layla and her face turned to a scowl. It seems she hates her.
"Layla Jones is our new celebrity. I hope you will grace me with your answers to my questions "Professor Gabriel said picking on Layla
"Tell me jones, How you will convert a Graphite into a diamond "Professor Gabriel asked Layla
THat's out of the syllabus, professor. Well, the answer is easy, you will change the nature of intramolecular structure with your magic. Even kids can answer that
"I don't know mam, "Layla told the professor , confused
Ohhh I forgot this is the 'famed' Layla Jones who is clearly bound by her fame.
"Then, tell me how you change glass into cement without breaking it, "Professor Gabriel Asked Layla
Yet again out of syllabus questions with easy answers. The answer is changing the Intermolecular system with necessary pressure. One with not too strong neither too weak magic applied to it
"I don't know mam " Layla replied
"Ashford, do you please enlighten me or you will prove to be worse as this celebrity "Professor Gabriel said wanting me to answer the question
It's strange
"Madam we use black magic to change the intermolecular structure and drag silicon and use intra molecular structure to form cement using silicon and applying not too high or too low force,"I told the professor
"Correct. Miss Jones, clearly a boy has surpassed you. It's shameful for a 'lady' like you or is that you are acting 'ladylike' to get more attention. My guess is on the latter"
"Ten merits to Ashford and Ten demerits to jones "Professor Gabriel said
Maybe it's her way of thanking me for shaming jones. Man the gender roles are reversed here. women here are expected to do better in classes. This means free privileges for me, yay!
" Clearly your 'fame' is nothing or that you thought the process of learning is too below your social status that you completely forgot to read the books, "Professor Gabriel said destroying Layla
The whole class erupted into laughter.
"Silence, WHY are you not writing it. DO you want me to deduct your merits?"Professor Gabriel said
Did someone in the past reject her, it's confirmed. But I like the way she annoyed that girl.
I Worked hard like before during the lesson. Ten Early merits and Layla humiliation motivated me to work harder
I return to my room and flop onto my bed
Eric is already here, sitting at his desk
"Hi, Akira, what do you think of class today? "Eric said to me wanting to change the topic
"Isn't it exciting? "Eric asked my opinion
He said while packing his bag in a hurry
"It's okay, I guess, it's not really what I expected.I thought we would be waving wands and reading old scrolls " I said to him
"Sounds like it will take a while before we can do anything big, but I guess that's why we have school," I said disappointed
"I like this way. Starting off with the theory behind the magic-it makes it into something real, something I can use, instead of just a dream "Eric said to me
"I have spent my whole life dreaming about something like this happening to me. I wondered if that's what makes me have a decent potential in magic. I don't know much about magic "
"What about you," Eric said to me
"No, I didn't think much of it. I thought of it as power and ability to change things the way I want "I declared my thoughts
"I am super smart and creative so I always liked unicorns since I was 7 and I never wanted to be an orc. I want to be a vampire or someone cool "I said completely offtopic
I stretch out on the bed, enjoying the feeling of having my feet free from shoes, and stare up at the ceiling
"should we decorate the ceiling ?'I said with a random thought
"the ceiling? "Eric said to me
"Yes, the ceiling," I said with a smile.
"Okay I have to go now goodbye for now, "Eric said to me as he hustled out of the room
"Why such a hurry,?"I asked him curiously
"I have to go, it's urgent, "Eric said to me forcing himself smiling
He said while packing the suitcase and took it outside quickly outside of my sight
